Using calculator

by robinphilip01 Thu Jan 01, 2015 5:07 am

Hi..
When using the calculator on the screen is it better to use the mouse or the keyboard buttons ?
It may differ to person to person, but can you give a suggestion in the exam point of view - for avoiding entry mistakes and getting speed?

It depends only and only on what YOU like. select the one which you think is faster, easier and accurate.

Agreed with hero. There's no rules. And you won't be using it all that much, so it's not worth agonizing over. : )

Hi Tommy,
One more question about calculator.
Is there will be any key on the key board on the actual GRE for the cancel function , as there is't any key in the Manhattan calculator for cancellation ( I mean "C" key) on the key board. For doing a new calculation, it is needed to click the mouse.
thank-you..

As far as I know, yes. There is no cancellation key.
